I doubt that. Sony decided based on what they think is right for the future of their platform while MS just did something unnecessary and completely out of bounds lol

Let's be honest, shall we?....


It's EA, nobody likes them anyway.
=P

Bungee won't be happy? They won't be happy about raised awareness for their game and more sales? They won't? Wow. If anything Sony is mad. And no its hated because fanboys like you don't pay attention the the good things they have done. 

Objectively, if you look at all this from a position where you don't take a side, for a minute, you will realise that things always look worse when it's your "team" that gets the treatment, and you tend to overlook the moments when the other side gets the crap. It feels worse when you're on the receiving end.  But that doesn't mean it only happens to your side. Most get it about equally, but you don't realise it as long as you're too invested emotionally in the crap that is said or done about your favoured console manufacturer.

I don't like Sims so I wouldn't know? 

Have you any idea how Destiny was lambasted on Gaf and other forums? Do you even know WHY MS chose to advertise it this way? Destiny was lambasted because people said it sounded like a 'cheap scent'. That's the context.

Microsoft did nothing wrong. I'm pretty sure that Activision nor Sony own the Word "Destiny". They are advertising a fragrance named Destiny. Whatever conclusions people draw is on them. And in the end, Microsoft accomplished exactly what they intended. The internet is buzzing about Destiny on Xbox One. It was extremely well played by them.

Also, I'm pretty sure Microsoft has a huge legal team. I would assume this was run by them before it was done.

Well to be fair if Sony pulled the stunt I would definately be less unhappy because i have a PS4... but I honestly still wouldnt like it. What I want from a console manufacturer is to make games that I wont get anywhere else... the keyword being *make*... I dont want to block them from other consoles or prevent games coming out that doesnt add value to the industry at all, I want them to invest in studios and make those games that wouldnt get made otherwise...

I purchased both TR on PS3/PS4... to me SE is more to blame than MS, but if the deal didnt exist there would have been no temptation for them to take it. Sony have certainly done deals like this in the PS2/1 days, but as I didnt like consoles back then, it didnt affect me. The most annoying on PS3 was the Fallout DLC, I loved that game, but DLC was delayed like 6-12 months on PS3... and I felt agrieved because I had *invested* my money twice in that game, on PC and PS3.

I just dont like the TR practice, i feel it adds no value, and I dont like it if Sony or MS do it. For small crappy DLC like what Sony is doing on Destiny... I feel less bothered by that, who cares about a special gun or hats or crap like that. But whole expansion DLC/Games... just no.

If you want a TR like game make it. For me it shows me what I need to know about MS, that they are not really serious about this business sometimes... , they are more interested in *just* winning, and for me that is not enough. Thats one of the major reasons I wont buy a XBO until it is really cheap, and only if DR3 hasnt come out on PS4.

What's wrong with the Destiny Fragrance? I'm planning getting it.

No they didn't. What they actually said was:

“Destiny is actually an epic new first-person shooter, available on Xbox. Thing is, we didn’t have permission to run adverts for the game. So we didn’t. Thanks for smelling that something was up. Now get the game and become a legend.”

It's been removed now though so you can't read it. I have NO idea why they've removed it.
